Atari Legend Interview
Back in 2004 (wow.. 20 years?) I was asked to do an interview for the AtariLegend.com website. I haven’t read this interview for a long time, I just remembered it and thought it would be groovy to add a link to it on my site. It’s a basic interview, but it gives a pretty good […]

Swan Song Project Update #1
I just had an initial sales report delivered regarding a version of my Swan Song project that has been available for a short period of time on platform #1. (The goal is to release Swan Song on 5 different platforms this year in 2024.) Initially going into this platform I wasn’t sure what to expect, […]

Full Pede Ahead
Centipede followed by Millipede are without a doubt my all time favorite arcade games. Many hours and quarters were lost playing these games at my local arcades. I think I’ve coded either a demo or a full game based on these games on every platform I’ve ever programmed on. lol.. I coded my first attempt […]

Retroblast
Download Retroblast For PC Retroblast (Released in 2008) was coded in VB6 using the last version of my DXGame Engine. Similar to the Flash game I would go on to code later called “Retroshoot”, this game was basically an exercise in learning more about code automation, “set it and forget it” game coding, etc. I […]

Christmas Clix
Download Christmas Clix For PC I coded this game back in 2008-2009. To this day it was the most expensive game to develop (I hired a professional graphics designer and music composer) and also the longest I ever spent developing a game. I really wanted this game to be polished and professional looking. I had […]

MGE | Part 2
Flash Rocks My World The popularity of online Flash gaming was just taking off. It was like this platform was specifically made for me. 🙂 A platform where simple little games were played by millions of people every day, if not every hour. I was shocked that the programming language used (AS3) was surprisingly similar […]

MGE | Part 1
I’ve always coded differently. Even back in the Atari 8-bit days, when coding using a basic compiler or even when coding 6502 assembly language, I’ve always taken the easiest way out when it comes to computer programming. Granted in 6502 Assembly my code was a bit more low level and optimized, but anybody that had […]

Project “Sawn Song”
Several years ago (after taking some time off after the Flash bubble burst…and then died!) I started working on my “swan song” app. Yep, the last app that I would ever code for public consumption. I decided to work on this project anonymously due to my experience with previous games I’ve coded. Having your game(s) […]
